The night of the VMAs last August, Robin Thicke went out on the town, partying with his wife after the MTV show. Robin had been all but ignored in the wake of Miley Cyrus’s twerkathon but Robin was still feeling good. He had a huge summer hit and he was finally a big name musical act. So he did what any married man would do while riding high: he groped a random blonde at a club. There were photos, and someone tweeted the photo to Paula Patton, Robin’s wife. Paula didn’t do anything because… well, we don’t know what’s going on in their marriage, but there are some assumptions that their marriage is a bit more “open” than “conventional”.
Since then, I guess Robin has been keeping a lower profile…? Eh, not really. I mean, Paula comes with him wherever he’s traveling or touring or performing, but Paula was also in the club when he groped that blonde. Anyway, get ready to clutch your pearls once again, because Robin was in Paris over the weekend, and there are photos of him getting very close to a random lady. You can see the photos here. The lady is very pretty, very young-looking, and the photos show a certain kind of intimate flirtation, I think.
Robin Thicke boasts he’s got “the most functional, dysfunctional marriage in Hollywood” — and we’ve got the pictures to back it up.
In his latest eyebrow-raising episode, the 36-year-old R&B singer, married to gorgeous actress Paula Patton, was snapped in Paris nightclub Club 79 West was getting very touchy-feely with a comely curly-haired clubgoer Saturday.
The “Blurred Lines” crooner, whose father is Growing Pains star Alan Thicke, is seen getting very up-close and personal with the seductress, nearly to the point of kissing, but just stopping short.
The debonair singer, who was caught in a similar compromising situation last fall after an MTV VMAs bash, put that scandal to bed telling Star, “My only comment about the so-called scandalous photo would be that my wife and I are perfectly in love and very happily married, so, no complaints there.”
Thicke, in Paris to promote his clothing line, was joined by one Kanye West at the hopping venue. (We can’t imagine HIS significant other would accept that type of tomfoolery!)
Do we just need to stop raising the alert on this stuff? Because it really does feel like Robin fools around and Paula doesn’t really care. And maybe Paula is fooling around too. God knows. If she is, she’s being way more discreet about it. Maybe we should just accept that Robin and Paula have an unconventional marriage and it works for them, so God bless.

Such a sleaze.
he isnt a sleeze if his wife an him have an open marriage and have communicated it and agreed upon rules an such. I’m surprised his wife isn’t doing the same thing with a bunch of men if that’s their agreement.
It isnt for me though, I prefer monogamy. It w would hurt my feelings if my SO wanted to sleep with a bunch of other women.
An open marriage IS sleazy. Just don’t get married. Date and bang all the randoms you want.
He is a sleaze because of his date-rapey song and the fact that he once tried to chat up a girl with the line, “I just like the fact that you’re so young” and in this particular scenario, the girl he’s panting over looks like a f-cking teen.
He is gross and that behavior is disrespectful to his wife and child. He looked like a single man; which he is not,
He was all over that girl. touching and what looked like kissing.. Drinking/smoking.. he looked gross
How is it disrespectful if he and his wife have an agreement that it’s perfectly fine? Different things work for different people. They’re likely one of the most solid celeb couples around. Allowing your SO freedom like that takes more trust than the majority have. More confidence too.
I don’t agree.. so good luck on that kind of life.
and if that is an agreement between them then be more discreet. He made his wife look a fool
I’m with Lisa2, except that I think he made himself look like the fool he is. He turns my stomach.
He does have a kid, though, who hasn’t the choice to have his parents’ sex lives made a tabloid fixture.
In ten years’ time Robin Thicke will be forgotten, but his doucheness will live on in Internet-form forever!
@lisa2 You seem very very judgemental. If his wife looks like a fool to you, that’s because you’ve judged her. When you see these two together they look very much in love, and they’ve been together for a very long time. They seem like best friends. ‘That kind of life’ looks like it’s worked out for them, and the level of discretion used is between them.
Don’t judge lifestyles that differ from yours just because you want to. It’s unfair and it sets a bad example.
@janie
Everyone posting is judgmental. That is where your opinions come from. And just like you seem to think it is great. I don’t.
I agree that it’s fine if him and his wife have an agreement. However, I do wish he’d be a little more discreet out of respect for his wife. Just that fact that he’s being so public with his behavior makes them both look bad.
I don’t see how having an open marriage makes it a more successful/solid relationship. That just doesn’t register with me.
“Allowing your SO freedom like that takes more trust than the majority have. More confidence too. ” This whole sentence just confuses me. Are you saying if I don’t allow my husband that kind of ‘freedom’ it means I don’t have confidence in my relationship and don’t trust my husband? If anything that’s more judgmental than Lisa^^ stating that he made his wife look bad. Which he did, considering if they do have an open relationship he’s just sleazy about it and not respecting their agreement by flaunting it in every club and touching every girl he can find. I personally do not think they have an open relationship, but it’s more of ‘I’ll do it whether you like it or not’ behavior and Paula can’t control him. I find it so hard to believe that Paula is sleeping around, considering how we always see her with Robin or with her son. When was the last time she was spotted at a club by herself? I don’t see the point of marrying someone and starting a life with them if you just want to go out and do other chicks, especially if ‘open marriage’ wasn’t a mutual want.
Tired of people trying to convince me and everyone else that this is fine. If Paula was your daughter how would you view his behavior then?
@Dani yes that statement by @janie got a major side-eye from me too. It just doesn’t make sense, couples like this trust each other more? Trust each other to do what? They don’t think fidelity constitutes a happy marriage so what are they trusting each other to do/not do exactly?
And just because they’ve been together since they were fetuses doesn’t mean they have a happy marriage either, people stay together for a lot of reasons.
Janie, you are in dreamland if you believe what you wrote. Happily married men don’t do what I saw him do in recent photos. He is just the typical man with influence that can’t say no to freely offered 20-year-old pu$$y, nothing more. This is not a new animal.
I have a friend who is in an open relationship, going on six years, and they are easily the most trusting and close couple that I have ever known. Easily. Both of them feel that getting physical with someone else is just that, physical. They are both very confident people, in themselves and in their relationship. And yes, they are more confident than most others that I know. I never said other ways mean you have no confidence. I said they have more than most others than I’ve known, and they do.
You don’t know what their agreement is. You don’t know that he disrespected her or how he made her feel.
Comments on posts about this couple are so similar to comments on 50 Shades. Free your mind, people.
Just because you know one couple does not mean it qualifies your statement for the rest of the world.
It is by and large, not a successful business model for a marriage, to say the least. And I will go one further and bet that Robin’s wife is not thrilled about his sleazing around. It’s abusive. And speaking of abuse, that is 100% what your precious 50 Shades book is about.
Hey @Janie!
The fact that you are a Hotwife or in a Swinging lifestyle is loud and clear from your comments.
The fact that you’re trying to justify your husband’s cheating is equally clear.
I understand: you’re in the middle of a moral dilemma.
I wish you the best and hope you join the rest of us who aren’t trying to redefine marriage when what they ought to do is simply re-name whatever it is they think they have.
Try to have a nice day!
I do think that they have an agreed upon, open marriage…so, who’s to judge? That being said, they do have a child who will read about all of daddy’s shenanigans once he’s able to google on his own. Who knows? He may even see it with his own two eyes. Out of respect for the kid, and not knowing how it will affect him emotionally as he ages (as we can all see by these varied posts, everyone responds to open marriages differently–no matter how they are raised), they should keep it under the sheets and within the family, not public fodder.
ps he reminds me of Gonzo wearing too-tight suits
@Janie You’re a 50 shades apologist? I don’t know why I bothered commenting on a anything you said, you couldn’t possibly have anything insightful to offer in this topic. Deuces.
Samira, nice job dumping on Janie. You seem to know an awful lot about her; are you acquaintances?
If you aren’t, that was a horrible post and you owe her an apology.
Yeah, usually if ppl have an open relationship they don’t go openly hitting on other people. Also, the girl looks about 15 and he looks like her middle aged dad. Yuck.
As I clicked over I was prepared to think “Meh, so he’s in the general vicinity of a pretty girl, so what?” But no, that is full-on, single-guy flirting. He looks wasted too.
Trusting and close…. lmao… of course… when there are no lines to cross trust is irrelevant.
I don’t really care what goes on in their marriage, the guy is still a douche.
I agree…if you looked up “douche” in the dictionary, there would be a picture of Robin Thicke….yuck!
He is a total skeeze.
agreed – who knows what goes on in their marriage. but regardless, he’s gross and a total douche.
dear paula,
honey, your man is a dog. i don’t think your marriage is going twerk out. take your kid and run.
signed,
a concerned friend
p.s. okay it’s miley who wrote this. i figured you’d guess anyway.
I predict a divorce before the end of the year. She ain’t going to put up with THAT.
They have been together since they were teenagers. I think they might be okay. I dont agree personally with his actions, but I hope they stay together. They obviously care or each other.
Also, not in response to previous poster, but why do people act all concerned about what his son will read about him one day, but have no problem calling names and posting overall horrible things about his father. Won’t he read those too…or do our awful comments not count?
Re your first paragraph, maybe so but his being in the paper MUCH more in the past year sleazing around and there being photos to prove it, is why I said she might draw the line after all these years now.
Lol Paula is so quirky always looking spaced out.
He looks wasted…if he and Paula do have an “agreement”, he could at least try to be a bit more discreet…the sleaze is strong in this one!
I guess she doesn’t care, because she seems to be high most of the time.
I would want to be high all the time too if I were married to this man. Ugh…
Is that their biological kid?
Yes he is their bio kid.
Paula is mixed race, her father is white. Honestly I think their son looks exactly like Robin’s mother Gloria Loring.
It bothers me that the girl looks about 12. He is a total douche.
yeah, that’s what I noticed. she looked like a VERY YOUNG teen (like 13-14) dolled up to look older.
very Brooke-Shields-in-“Pretty Baby” looking.
Girls in clubs are always really young. Not always by design. I remember being 14, my friends and i making ourselves up to look older so we could sneak {read Blag] into clubs.
And those girls are out for free drinks, the more expensive te better. He may have think he scored, but if he didn’t take them home, then he will leave with a ginormous bar bill!!!
Really? I didn’t think she looked that young. I would have guessed that she’s around my age, and I’m 23. Still young, but not child young.
Why do so many tabs ignore that several years ago both of them pretty much insinuated that they had an open marriage several times in various interviews? I specifically remember hearing him insinuate something like that on the radio and being surprised he was being so obvious…. this was probably back in 2005 or so when he first started to gain some attention….He may seem sleazy, but it seems to work for them.
If that’s the case, the she is showing far more class and discretion than Robin (as i have yet to see her groping anyone on public). Perhaps he should take a hint from her and tone it down.
It might be because he’s more famous than her, he’s going to get photographed more. On one of the previous posts on them, a poster said that they knew Robin and Paula were in an open relationship because he/she had been at a party where they were at, and Paula was flirting pretty aggressively and trying to make out with the poster’s brother, I believe.
But I do think he needs to keep it on the downlow, because he has a kid.
Is it just me or does Paula look perma-high in every single pic I’ve seen of her in the last year?
Does she stay “medicated” to cope with the sleaze ball husband or simply for innocent, enjoyment?
It’s not just you, she really does.
Yeah we should stop being alarmed The man has Hyperhydrosis (extra sweat), wears a t-shirt to the beach prolly screws everything that moves with and eithout his wife’s blessing but certainly with his daddy’s wink
An open marriage where you agree to have discreete sex with people outside of the relationship is different to “getting hot and heavy with a way younger girl in public and being photographed”
Their relationship is whatever they decide. He was public and obvious with that blond chick and Paula didn’t seem to care. He was at a club with countless people and cell phones. He knew there would be pictures, so his wife must not care. They’ve been together since he was 14, so he knows better than us what she allows. A part of me wonders if the public aspect of this is to generate publicity and gossip.
Maybe his wife does care and he just doesn’t give a shit what she thinks? I mean, why can’t that be true if the opposite is supposedly true?
I personally think it would be disrespectful to my partner to openly flrt and grope someone even if we did have an “arrangement”.
Any doubts now that he was the guy at the Globes who was bragging he scored over a dozen phone numbers from girls at the after party? In front of his wife???? He is a D list celebrity at best, his Dad was a douche and he is worse! They are both disgusting! And she us awful to for buying into this behaviour! Ugh! Hurry up and go away!
@Yuya what makes me think she is ok with it is that a day after the previous pics leaked, with the blond, she was out in public with him looking happy. I mean there were loads of pics of the all happy and affectionate. If she was upset and read him the riot act he probably would be careful of cell pics. Also the blond said he encouraged her to speak with Paula. I think they probably take girls home.
Fair enough if they have an open marriage but its the indiscreet way in which he does it.
Plus he just looks sleazy. He looks like an old sweaty man creeping on a girl young enough to be his daughter. Not attractive.
+1000
Also, how is anyone attracted to this greaseball! Why would you sleep with him when you know he’s married and there will be nothing but sex?! I guess that random thought he was hot stuff?! Blech!
Yes. He looked so greasy and drunk in those pics. Just sex can be enough for these girls who are looking for 18 yrs of good fortune.
Makes me wonder if he’s fixed and he tells the young girls, let’s do it raw, I’m gonna make you my baby mamma!
@dehunny…. I just lost my lunch.
He said on Howard Stern that he brings girls home for him and Paula. That’s their thing.
I did not know that he said it publically. I wonder how much it really is “her thing” vs. her wanting to hang onto him
It’s hard for me to take him seriously knowing that he’s going to be on stage at a nearby Native American gaming center soon.
Can’t stand this over hyped douche bag. If they have an open marriage good for them. Glad I don’t have to deal with their nonsense.
I also despise people who drink AND smoke on the dance floor. What is he? 21? Who does that?
He is mid 30’s who still thinks he is 21. Someone needs to show this dummy how foolish he looks in these pics when he is sober.
I think both Robin and Paula are somewhat depraved and morally bankrupt. It’s sad that they are exposing their young kid to their values… or lack thereof.
That’s a bit sanctimonious, don’t you think? If they like to get their kicks that way who are you to judge? I see no problem if BOTH spouses are cool with it and there has been ZERO indication that she’s not. Maybe they think your kind of lifestyle is too boring for them?
For clarification purposes, my husband and I don’t partake in that lifestyle but I don’t really bat an eyelash at people who do, it’s just not my place to judge what other people like or declare them “morally bankrupt” because they do things that I wouldn’t be comfortable doing.
No more sanctimonious than telling people they shouldn’t state their opinion on a gossip site because you disagree with it.
He looks 15 years older than everyone else at the club. What a creeper
I think he knows he is being watched and when he goes out partying ,he gives the public what they want. If he didn’t grope the girl and flirt in with a young beautiful woman in a Paris nightclub he wouldn’t make it here on to celebitchy for everybody to talk about him.
Hm. Those pics look to me like he is being friendly but not “intimate” w/that girl. He looks like he’s answering a question. You lean in in a crowded/loud club, no matter who you’re speaking with. Maybe Thicke is a cheater, but these particular pics are nothing. If this random girl weren’t gorgeous, there’d be no conversation.
I totes agree! I looked through all the pics while considering they were in a loud dance club. It makes sense to me. If that was my hubs I’d likely rib him a bit just out of my own human nature but he’s not kissing her or touching her very inappropriately.
The guy oozes douchery and I find him repulsive. It’s up to them what they do in their own marriage. We get it, good for you (sarc) that you bring other woman into the marriage to add spice to your bedroom activities, but stop talking about it in public. Why does the rest of the world need to hear it? Publicity at it finest. The fact you have a son and don’t care about the stuff you are putting out there for him to see and hear with his own eyes and ears when he is older, I find that repulsive.
I could imagine other parents and teachers around school talking about the family behind their backs and the child being subjected to teasing, because there are pictures floating around of daddy flirting in public with the next potential bedroom candidate.
And how old is that girl? She looks really young. It’s slightly gross considering how young she looks.
She may be over 18 but the girl looks younger than 18.
this guy makes me want to shower he’s so skeezy and douchebaggy.
he even looks like a total and utter douche while grocery shopping with his kid. ugh.
and that club girl looks REALLY young. double ugh.
Why even bother getting married if you still want to screw around with other people. Open marriages, I just don’t get. Hollywood or not….marriage is a commitment to be faithful to each other. Stay single if you want to bump nasties with partners other than your spouse. What happened to ” you can look, but don’t touch?”
